LEWISTON – Oscar X. Hebert, 87, of Dixfield peacefully passed away on Friday Feb. 12, 2021, at CMMC in Lewiston with his loving family by his side.

He was born in Caribou on Aug. 18, 1933, a son of the late Edward and Margaret (LaBell) Hebert. He grew up in Caribou and attended local schools. He was a graduate of Caribou High School.

After high school, Oscar joined and proudly served his country in the United States Air Force during the Korean War. He served for six years and was promoted to Sergeant upon his discharge from the Air Force.

He married Jeanne Smith on March 17, 1962, and they started a family together. During that time, Oscar worked as Millwright for International Paper in Jay from which he would retire. After retirement, he started a recycling company named Reclaimed Salvage that he ran for many years.

He will always be remembered for his love of baseball, football and spending quality time with his family at any type of gathering they had. He was known as a “Jack of all trades” always tinkering around and working on various projects. He was very proud of his family members and could often be found bragging about them to any person that he came in contact with. He was an active member in the American Legion. He will be sadly missed.

He is survived by his three children; Tim Hebert, Lucinda Ryder and Thomas Hebert and two of his sisters, Louise Pike and Phyllis Brown. He also leaves behind his seven grandchildren and his 13 great-grandchildren.

He was predeceased by both his first and second wives, Jeanne Hebert and Marion Hebert, one grandchild and his 13 other siblings.
